HTTPS monitoring from ACE to F5

Hi Krys,

your are pretty close.

Please modify your receive string as follows:

HTTP/1\.[01] 30[12] (moved|found)  

The evaluation can be done by matching a regular expression.

So both HTTP/1.0 and HTTP1.1 resposes with status codes of 301 and 302 will be accepted.

Please do not use "OK" in case you expect a redirect.

In this case it´s very likely to receive a "Moved" or "Found" optional string to look after.

I haven´t found a dokumentation, what regex engine is used. But it seems to be configured case insensitive.

The following receive String will work as well:

^http/1\.[01]\s+30[12]\s+(found|moved)  

(Looks for string "http/1" followed by a literal dot at beginning of line, allows http-version 0 and 1, one or multiple whitespaces, followed by a 301 or 302, one or multiple whitespaces, followed by either "found" or "moved".)

For testing the cURL available on your BIG-IP will be helpful (forcing HTTP/1.0 by "-0" and to dump the headers only by "-I"):

curl -k -0 -I -H 'Host: wam.ibm.intralink.bns' 'https:///opensso'

Thanks, Stephan

Edited (2015-03-29): Modified to look for a literal dot and added a second regex as receive string.
